Richmond Times Dispatch reported last week that local paranormal investigators Transcend Paranormal have explored the supposedly haunted halls of Hanover Tavern, which has been in active use since 1791. Nowadays, it’s one of Virginia Rep’s theaters + a southern soul food restaurant inside.

If you’re looking for some River City ghostbusters, here’s a few others you can call up for an adventure or investigation.
